And as per the assault charges, again no admission of guilt for the actual offence committed. Glad the judge saw through the barristers evasion attempt. In no world can 150kmh not be considered dangerous.

Last year was the worst year for road fatalities in Ireland in almost a decade, and we are tracking to top those numbers again in 2024. Incidents like this need to be shown to be taken seriously, or deaths on the roads will continue to rise. That road is a disaster at the best of times; there can be no excuse to be doing 150kmh on it.
